Sanity vs. Madness-You Decide!

Sooo…..what does one make of the third and final debate? First, no doubt about it, McCain was spoiling for a fight. This was his last chance to convince people he’s the right guy. But Obama countered with points of his own. He answered every one of McCain’s charges and continued to connect McCain with the failure of the last 8 years-in spite of McCain’s clever little comment about running against Junior 4 years ago. The real winner of course was “Joe the Plumber”. In interviews with him after the fact he seemed to express the same set of concerns as most other people. Whether or not Obama convinced him is another matter. But in spite of all the talk and all the words and accusations, here’s the thing that left me with the strongest impression: body language. Obama was cool, calm and relaxed. But did you see the look on McCain’s face and in his eyes as Obama was speaking? Very revealing. He looked like a mad man. Although a tad insensitive, he sometimes looked like he was being tortured again. Seriously. Wide open eyes, contorted facial expressions, mouth all twisted and ugly. The guy’s a nut job-no question about it. Do we want his hand that close to ‘the button’? I think not. I’ll take my chances with the lib-er-al!
